If there’s one thing every guy gets wrong at least once, it’s T-shirt sizing. We’ve all been there, the T-shirt that looked “M” in your head but fit like a borrowed “S”, or the “XL size T-shirt” you ordered that could double as a tent.
Indian men especially struggle because Indian Men’s T-shirt sizes aren’t universal. One brand’s M is another brand’s S. One brand’s XL hits the elbows, another stops mid-arm. And don’t even get us started on “oversized” vs “baggy” two completely different universes people mix up all the time.
So here’s a straight-up, no-nonsense, streetwear-coded guide to understanding the Men’s T-Shirt Size Chart, how to choose your perfect fit, and how regular, oversized, and baggy fits differ in shape, silhouette, and vibe.
Let’s decode the grid.
Why T-Shirt Size Charts Matter (More Than You Think)
A good T-shirt isn’t just about the graphics or the colour. It’s the fit that decides whether you look put-together or like you grabbed the wrong t-shirt in the dark.
The right size sets your silhouette, frames your shoulders, cleans your proportions, and makes your outfit look intentional. And in streetwear, intention is everything.
But before we dig into charts, let’s decode the basics.
Understanding T-Shirt Sizes (XS to 3XL)
If you’ve ever Googled things like “S size in number T-shirt”, “M size in number T-shirt”, or “XXL size in number T-shirt”, here’s the cleanest version:
- XS size in number (T-shirt) - Usually 34–36 inches chest
- S size in number (T-shirt) - 37–39 inches chest
- M size in number (T-shirt) - 39–41 inches chest
- L size in number (T-shirt) - 41–43 inches chest
- XL size in number (T-shirt) - 43–45 inches chest
- XXL size in number (T-shirt) - 45–47 inches chest
- 3XL / XXXL size in number (T-shirt) - 49–51 inches chest
These are ballpark numbers. Actual shirts vary because fit type changes everything.
Let’s break those down.

How to Choose the Right T-Shirt Size (Based on Your Build)
1. Measure your chest; it’s the only number that matters.
2. Decide your fit vibe (Regular / Oversized / Baggy)
- Regular Fit- L
-
Oversized Fit - M or L, depending on shape
- Baggy Fit - M for clean baggy, L for full volume
3. Check the length
- 28–29 inches = balanced
- 30–31 inches = longer street silhouette
4. Sleeve length changes the vibe
- Longer sleeves create a street attitude.
- Shorter sleeves look more classic.
- Baggy fits have the longest sleeves for a reason: silhouette control.

FAQs
Q1. How do I know my correct T-shirt size?
Measure your chest and match it with the Men’s T-Shirt Size Chart. Your chest number decides everything, not your height, not your weight.
Q2. What’s the difference between regular, oversized, and baggy T-shirt sizes?
Regular fits are structured. Oversized fits are wider and boxier. Baggy fits have the most volume. The chest measurement grows with each category.
Q3. What is the size M T-shirt in numbers?
For most Indian Men’s T-shirt sizes, M-size T-shirt sits around 39–41 inches in chest. Underrated’s Regular Fit M is 41 inches.
Q4. What size should I choose if I’m between two sizes?
For a clean look, size down. For a modern street silhouette, size up. Fit type (regular/oversized/baggy) matters more than the number.
Q5. Which fit is best for plus-size men?
Baggy or oversized fits work best because they don’t cling. They shape volume naturally and look intentional, not tight.
Q6. Are Indian Men’s T-Shirt Sizes different from US sizes?
Yes. Indian sizing is slightly narrower. Always check the brand’s specific T-shirt size chart never assume US-to-India conversions
